As many of my stamping friends know, one of the wonderful things about digital images is being able to resize them. So I enlarged the wreath (by a lot!) and made two "copies" of it in Word. I rotated and arranged them to "frame" this wonderful Scripture verse. I used the same Copic colors as the first card along with a couple more colors and matted it. But something was missing...and that's when I decided that jute with a button would lend a more country feel. I used dimensional tape under the entire card front and mounted it to the card base. So there you have it...an easy card to make and color...just in time for this Thanksgiving season. I have printed out another one with the "Happy Thanksgiving" sentiment, so don't tell my family this is the card they will be receiving in the mail, okay? Hehe!
Thank you so much for taking a closer peek at my card, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! And I hope you are enjoying the beautiful colors of the leaves as they are changing. Enjoy them for me! Hugs, sweet friends!

Oh WOW - another wonderfully creative way of using the wreath image. I love this one too - hard to make up my mind which one I like best. Lots more little berries to strain your eyes again - he he.

You are creative in so many ways, Cheryl. This is fantastic! I love bittersweet; you don't really see it anymore, but my sister found some to make wreaths for her wedding may falls ago. I love what you saw and pulled from your digi
